It is two pieces with the same slots, so you rotate the outer piece to make the slots bigger or smaller. Pretty clever! I would imagine that this would snuff out the fire as well as the rain cap. I like the idea that you can open the vents to allow airflow and prevent mold if (heaven forbid) your egg sits idle a few weeks.

Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg wing.

I've had my Large BGE since just before new years. I have spent nearly $4000 on it and related accessories since then. My wife thinks I'm crazy as hell for buying all of these gadgets and doohickey's. But... She likes the food. Not sure about replacing my daisy wheel. I live in So California. Don't worry to much about rain and bad weather here.

Doing a few butts today for a friend in the rain. Even with only the petals open and the egg tucked under the eave overhang, there was a small baldspot from rubwash. Talked to Matt over the phone and he was really nice answering my main question of it also working as the ceramic cap, snuffing out the fire. In the midwest, I had to order one.

Got mine today. Did some burgers and then a chic kabob. Temp ranged from 550 - 400. Like it so far but need to do a low and slow this weekend before I know for sure. I like the quality, look and fit. No more rusty CI DFMT is a positive. Hope I can hold 250 and then I'll be sold.

Had no problems with 250 last weekend.
